The bags are then placed in a hydraulic press, to have as much water as possible expressed from their contents.
Pagina 619 - I place a quantity of stones, or gravel, and over the stones, or gravel, common wrappering, such as is used for sacks. Below the bricks is a drain to take off the water which passes through the filter.

Pagina 795 - It occurred to me, therefore, that if the surface of the plate was engraved, an impression might be obtained.

Pagina 808 - ... are less ; in other instances, where the process was regular and the metal homogeneous, the fracture extended quite through the metal to upwards of one-eighth of an inch in depth. I have observed this phenomenon in about nine instances, in several of which the explosion took place even in the liquid, by striking the deposit against the glass containing vessel ; and in one instance it occurred after the metal had been well washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, dried, and had remained out of the...
